Cellulosic ethanol is an alcohol produced from the feedstock available in wide variety of plant materials and agricultural residues. Although chemically identical with the first generation bioethanol, it differs in the use of raw material. Hence cellulosic ethanol differs from the conventional ethanol in its use of feedstock and the process implied at the different stages of production.

This webinar covers issues faced by cities for both climate change mitigation and adaptation, particularly focusing on the technological interventions that cities can adopt to combat and build resilience to climate change. 

CTCN organised a 3-days incubator consultation workshop 10-12 October 2018 in Díli, Timor Leste to support Timor Leste in reaching their Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) adaptation and mitigation targets through the deployment of climate technologies. The consultations were facilitated by the Asian Institute of Technology (AIT).

CTCN organised a 5-days training workshop on Green Climate Fund (GCF) project proposal development for 7 participants from 5 Direct Access Entities from Nepal, 3-7 September 2018 in in Bangkok, Thailand. The training was organised with the collaboration of the Ministry of Finance, Nepal’s National Designated Authority to the Green Climate Fund and implemented by the Asian Institute of Technology.
